RESIDENTIAL BROADBAND TECHNICIAN

Residential Broadband Technician

Having a career in cable television doesn’t mean you have to audition for a reality show. In fact, working as a Residential Broadband Technician (or formerly known as Universal Home Technician) is a pretty sweet gig that doesn’t even involve surviving on an island with strangers or being cutthroat in a kitchen. If Tech Installer or Maintenance Technician are skills in your wheelhouse, this might be a role in which you were meant to play!

This opportunity is with Cox Communications, part of the Cox family of businesses, and we’re all about connecting our customers to a world of possibilities.   

What You’ll Do

• Install, disconnect, and troubleshoot for Cox products, including high speed internet, telephony and automation services. You’ll be working with things like alarms, low voltage electricity, and color-coded wires.  

• Share our amazing products with our customers, how to use them, and what upgrades are available.  

 • Just to bring a little paperwork into your world, you’ll document the results of each of your visits, and guide customers through the legal linguistics of waivers, agreements, and release forms.

 • Drive a company vehicle, which includes planning your daily route, ordering necessary equipment, and supplying, stocking and maintaining your vehicle (including but not limited to your favorite passenger seat snack).  

• Take part in training sessions, so you can be up to speed on our latest products, services, and safety guidelines. And then apply that knowledge to your day-to-day work.

You want the best for your customers, and you’ll ensure the quality of services provided them meets established industry and company performance standards and is compliant with all applicable national, state and local laws and regulations.

What’s In It For You?

 • The best in workspace tools and technology are a must for you to do your best work, so Cox makes sure you have a tool belt filled with the most innovative equipment and resources available.

 • If you’re looking for a truckload of benefits, we’ve got plenty to install, starting with great, highly competitive pay, generous incentives, and other compensation perks (401k + company match, comprehensive medical benefits, etc.). We’ll also connect you with tuition reimbursement for academic pursuits, adoption assistance, paid time off to volunteer, childcare and eldercare resources, pet insurance (cool, right?) and much more. 

• We’ll wire you up to plenty of opportunities to learn and train so you can amp up your skills and explore opportunities that will help you achieve your goals.  

• At Cox, we value things like flexibility and quality of life.  We’re proud of (and work hard to maintain) an uplifting company culture that provides a big tent filled with diverse people and big ideas. The trust between our leadership and our teams means you’re working in an environment that supports real change driven by collaboration. Needless to say, we think you’ll feel at home behind the wheel here.  

Who You Are

You’re also good with customers, creating a friendly rapport when providing service or troubleshooting issues for them. You know your way around basic PC/Windows software, and you have a driving and work history that you’re proud of.

Qualifications:

Minimum

• High school diploma or GED equivalent preferred; post-high school education a plus
• Must be 18 years of age
• Have a valid driver’s license and a good driving record
• 1 year experience in a comparable field (e.g., related hands-on trade role)

Preferred

• 5+ years of experience specifically in-service installation and repair in multiple service provider and/or telecommunications environment.
• Spanish proficiency desirable in some locations

Physical Requirements

While you won’t need to bench press for this gig, you are able to handle a number of different physical requirements, from climbing ladders to carrying equipment. You’re easy-going about things like small workspaces, working outdoors, and toasty or frigid temperatures, and you also won’t have any issues with doing the following:

     ● Carry and use tools and equipment up to 70 pounds, and carry a

        28-foot ladder

    ● Distinguish different wire colors

     ● Bend, walk, stoop, and crawl, as well as climb ladders and/or utility

        poles

     ● Tolerate temporary exposure to fumes, airborne particles, and

        extreme, non-weather-related heat
